Doorbell Camera and Nest Hub max automation

I have a wired nest doorbell and a smart display of nest Hub max. 

I've recently started to create automations using the google home script editor. 

I want my automation to display the front doorbell camera when the doorbell is pressed on my Nest Hub max and after a minute to stop displaying. 

Couldn't find a way to create a delayed action

We don't use automations, but you could use the "Visitor announcements" option (https://support.google.com/googlenest/answer/7672451) to accomplish the same thing.

I've not tried this myself but based on a few other automations that I have done I would start with the device.event.DoorbellPress function as a starter and then for actions I would try assistant.command.OkGoogle and time.delay functions.

starters:
    - type: device.event.DoorbellPress
      device: (camera name) - (camera location)

actions:
    - type: assistant.command.OkGoogle
       okGoogle: show me (camera name) on (display device)
      devices: (display device)
    - type: time.delay
       for: 1min
    - type: assistant.command.OkGoogle
      okGoogle: stop casting on (display device)
      devices: (display device)
